While we're on the subject...

I've decided. I can't leave holidays up to their parents. Because Jenn'd mess everything up!

*blinks*

No, really, this isn't as crazy as it sounds. Jenn really doesn't get as enthused about holidays as I do, so it makes sense that I should, um, be a driving force here. Besides, it'd give me something to *do* with all my holiday-related enthusiasm, while giving Jenn et al. a chance to not have to do anything.

Naturally, I'm taking my reasoning as an excuse to go completely overboard with holidays of all sorts.

So! *cracks knuckles* What're some common things people do for various holidays wherever you're from? What do you think of those things? What does your family do?

Yes, this post is prompted by the discovery that one can order Christmas Crackers online and get them in the US. It sounds about as fun as fortune cookies, and I'm always up for that. (Hey - it's for the kids, right? As we all know, that justifies everything! Yes, even that! And that! In all seriousness, I think it justifies letting me do something constructive with my insanity.)

Edit: They don't have to be strictly holiday traditions. Just post.

Edit again: I still don't want kids of my own. They'd be spoiled brats. Seriously. And I wouldn't get to go home every day.

I didn't realise Americans didn't do Christmas Crackers. You learn soemthing new every day heh :p.

I'm not really doing anything this Christmas but usually people here have a Barbeque and go for a swim and play in the sun and eat salad and cold chicken. I imagine it being summer here makes quite a difference :p.
